Hatch your Pokémon eggs faster with a new Pokémon Go update

Now your Google Fit (and Apple Health) data will soon be able to help you hatch eggs and earn candy even without the app open.

There are some features in Pokémon GO, like walking with a Buddy or hatching Eggs, which are well-meaning, but can be pretty annoying, since you have to do so much walking to really accomplish anything. Developer Niantic plans to launch this feature inside Pokémon Go in the near future and later expand it to its other games.

This feature sounds so simple it's a little mind-boggling to think it's taken Niantic two years to put it into the game.

Adventure Sync will allow you to record your walking distance even when the game isn't running. And just in time, too, because you'll be able to trade in all that Halloween candy calories for in-game sweets. What's more, the game will sync with HealthKit on iOS and Google Fit to give users access to weekly summaries of distance travelled, calories burned and steps.

This is a huge move for Pokemon Go, one that will encourage players to not only keep exercising and stay engaged with the game. Rewards can be earned for each milestone you reach, and you get push notifications when your buddy Pokémon has found a Candy or when an egg hatch is imminent. It will also allow players to participate in weekly milestones for walking and earn rewards for these milestones as well.

But more than just a tracker, Adventure Sync has an even more important goal, at least for Pokemon GO players. It may be recalled that earlier Pokemon Go could only count steps when the phone was awake.

You don't have to let the Pokemon go, just transfer them out of your inventory.
